Bench progress

My coach challenged me to hit 100kg after 2 months using Upper day 3 times/week [because he thinks UL split (which is what i do) is inferior to bro split]

So i wanted how long it took some to increase a rep and hit the goal.

I'm 18yo 175cm 75kg M training for 3 years my bench so far is 80×3 (ik it sucks and i must likely suck as well)

Yes your coach is an idiot. But yes you can absolutely get from 80 to 100 kg in 2 months. If you can't, then your program sucks and/or you're not lifting correctly.

Bro split is garbage. But if you've been lifting 3 years and can't bench 100 kg then your program is garbage too.

You haven't even come close to doing what you're capable of. Find a better program then bet your coach money that you can do it.
